re: Why did S.Car hire Muschamp?

Honestly, I don't know. I always felt it was obvious we had a ceiling as we are a small state, without great tradition in football, and competing with big time schools in the same area. But then you see Clemson and Mississippi suddenly becoming top 5 recruiting schools and you wonder. I do know Spurrier and the previous staff put forth less effort at recruiting than probably any other staff in the conference. We were getting 10-12 4 star players a year, but even all 4 stars aren't equal. The #40 recruit and the #265 recruit can both be 4 stars, doesn't mean they are equal. Most of our 4 star players were Georgia guys that either slipped through the cracks or were just not the top targets in their state.

I think we could be a consistent 10-15 ranked class each year with a staff committed to putting in the time recruiting. We were 16-20 consistently with a staff that spent as much time golfing as recruiting.
